Namaste Sadananda ji:

 

The Series made very good reading and the concluding one especially is so full

of wisdom. Swami Paramarthananda ji stresses 'dwelling upon the teaching' and

writing about the teaching with a view to share the wisdom contained in it is

certainly dwelling upon the teaching. It is Jnana Yagna. Let the Gita

Navaniitam be soon churned out and presented to all of us.

 

Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum.

 

With Respectful regards

Shree Subbu -

PraNaams

Thank you for your kind words. I am also enjoying your sat sangh.

With my Gurudev's blessings and the blessings of all my teachers, I should

start the series soon. Just finished giving a camp on Upadesa Saara at

Chinmaya Misson. I find the Indian environment is more conducive for my

Nidhidhyaasana. Let us see what He has planned for me.

 

Hari OM!

Namaste Sri Sadanandaji :

 

Thank you for this 'Vara prasadam' of Gita Navaneetham to the

devotees in this cyber Satsangha . Navaneeta Chora (Butter Thief)

is also a Chitta Chora ( stealer of hearts) - No matter whether it

is Brindavan Dham or Washington Dham, Bhaktavatsala KRISHNA resides

in the hearts of his devotees and HIS words in the Srimad Bhagvad

GITA are always a source of eternal and infinite delight (

Sadanandam and Paramanandam) to seekers of Truth and knowledge.

 

Verse 20 of BAJA GOVINDAM STOTRA reads

 

bhagavad.h giitaa kiJNchidadhiitaa

gaNgaa jalalava kaNikaapiitaa .

sakRidapi yena muraari samarchaa

kriyate tasya yamena na charchaa

 

 

Let a man read but a little from Giitaa, drink just a drop of water

from the ganges, worship murari (govinda) just once. He then will

have no altercation with Yama. (Stanza attributed to dR^iDhabhakta.)

 

VERSE 27 OF Baja Govindam stotra reads

 

geyaM giitaa naama sahasraM

dhyeyaM shriipati ruupamajasram.h .

neyaM sajjana saNge chittaM

deyaM diinajanaaya cha vittam.h

 

 

Regularly recite from the Gita, meditate on Vishnu [thro' Vishnu

sahasranama] in your heart, and chant His thousand glories. Take

delight to be with the noble and the holy. Distribute your wealth in

charity to the poor and the needy. (Stanza attributed to Sumatira.)

 

 

(http://www.nads-sc.uiowa.edu/~sbulusu/carnatic/c1824.html )

 

In these day of internet , are we not fortunate that we ( residents

of other countries) are able to bathe our intellects in the

Knowledge of Srimad Bhagwat Gita even though the 'SPokesman' is far

away in Chennai, India? This is Sri Krishna Bhagwan's infinite mercy

and compassion - He may take many forms and names but He is the all

pervading consciousness Sriman Vishnu! :-)

 

It also gives me pleasure to know more about KARMA YOGA AND ITS FINER

NUANCES. i was more into bhakti yoga. It is now more clear to me how

to be an adhikari of 'Vedanta'; , one needs to have an in depth

knowledge of Karma yoga - the practice of Karma yoga teaches you to

how to be dispassionate and also nonattachment to the results of your

actions.

 

AS the SRIMAD BHAGWAT Gita says

 

The person whose mind is always free from attachment, who has subdued

the mind and senses, and who is free from desires, attains the

supreme perfection of freedom from Karma through renunciation."

 

Sadaji, I have printed all the posts in these series and during my

lunchtime at work, this is what i read. Sometimes it takes me

multiple readings to grasp the full meaning for i am still

a 'child' ' in this study of vedanta .

 

Sir, i dedicate this verse from Srimad Bhagvat Gita to you

 

Chapter 5 , verse 16

 

 

jnanena tu tad ajnanam

yesam nasitam atmanah

tesam aditya-vaj jnanam

prakasayati tat param

 

When, however, one is enlightened with the knowledge by which

nescience is destroyed, then his knowledge reveals everything, as the

sun lights up everything in the daytime.

 

oN THIS NOTE , May i say that the same 'Sun' (ADITYA) that shines in

Chennai, India is also shining in Washington , U.S.A - you say you

like doing 'Nidhiyasadhana ' in the Indian environment .

Understandable . The sun is the same and its reFlection is the same

but the rivers where the sun's reflection fall may be different -

one river may be Ganga and the other 'Potomac' river ! :-)

 

However, Michaelji is correct , whether the Divine mother assumes

the formS OR NAMES OF SARASWATI , GANGA , YAMUNA, KAVERI, NARMADA ,

SARAYU ETC , SHE is still the ever-flowing CHAITANYA -

CONSCIOUSNESS ! SHE IS KRIYA SHAKTI, JNANA SHAKTI AND ICCHA SHAKTI

and without her divine will , nothing moves !

 

 

Sri gurave namaha

 

Aum namo bhagvate Vasudevaya

Saraswatidevi

 

My shaashhTanga praNaams.

 

Thanks for your kind words. With the blessing of Saraswati any thing

can be accomplised. Let us see how she manifests in the Gita Navaneetam.

 

 

Hari OM!

Sadananda
